Beth Deiter Email & Phone Number

Experienced pediatric speech-language pathologist whose home-based service delivery model holds a unique niche in Chicago’s northwest suburbs. By traveling to the family's home, I am able to provide highly-personalized therapy to children within their comfortable, natural environment and encourage the participation of their parents in the therapy process, optimizing overall success. As a therapist who tries to see the big picture, I also acknowledge the isolation that can accompany the responsibility of caring for a child who receives therapy services. Many families do not have access to a community support group, especially if it is one devoted to a particular diagnosis or one that provides in-person meetings. Seeing an opportunity, I contacted some motivated parents and professionals, and together we created a new kind of support organization--one that includes everyone. We call it C.I.T.Y. of Support (Children In Therapy and You). Our mission is to create a dynamic community, both online and in person, that supports all families navigating the needs of their child in therapy, regardless of diagnosis. We are a volunteer-run organization that provides social, educational, and community outreach opportunities for families at no cost. More information about this growing organization can be found at: www.cityofsupport.org.Through my private practice and nonprofit leadership, I strive to build a network of support not only for the child receiving therapy, but also for his/her family and general community.
